Magnolias are opening up!

April 16, 2025Flowers, SpringJonathan

Pink magnolia petals growing out of a bud in the middle of a branch. At the end of the branch is a fuzzy bud which has not opened yet.

When I was at the Arboretum a few days ago, most of the magnolia buds weren’t open yet, but a few were showing off their full flowers.

The gift of springtime

April 7, 2025Close Up, Flowers, Quotes, SpringJonathan
